Then a friend of mine, Cheryl Milstein, was honored at last year's Scholarship Gala and ... http://blog.barnard.edu/2008/05/22/are-you-involved-at-all-with-barnard/ My senior year at high school, I knew I had to go to Barnard. Like falling in love, or an obsessive crush I doodled the name on notebooks, tracked down friends of friends who had gone to Barnard and might in some way, possibly, be able to "introduce me" or ... http://blog.barnard.edu/2008/05/14/meeting-friends/ My love affair with New York started while at Barnard. As a high school senior, I came with a friend to visit her sister for a weekend, and I was hooked. My parents loved to joke about how decades before, they had worked hard to abandon gritty ... http://blog.barnard.edu/2008/05/02/loving-nyc/ When I first got to Barnard, I was homesick.

Now, I've done some ... http://blog.barnard.edu/2008/04/22/time-flies/ I have a confession: My experience of Barnard was largely social. When I read the Barnard magazine (ummmm . . . how GLAM does that Annie Leibovitz cover shot of President Shapiro look by the way??) and they talk about the various Barnard traditions, I pretty much draw a blank. In the ... http://blog.barnard.edu/2008/04/15/barnard-traditions/ 15 years! I just don’t know how I feel about the fact that we’re approaching our 15th reunion. On one hand, it feels like yesterday. When I run into old classmates out and about, I quickly snap back into being the girl I was back then – at least mentally, ... http://blog.barnard.edu/2008/04/08/campus-memories/
